Singularity & Schwartzchild radius asymptote
I was talking with someone about Hawking Radiation and black holes and I realised something that I'd like to fact check.
- all black holes are singularities
- Singularities are an infinitely small point
- The Schwartzschild radius shrinks as the black hole loses energy
- It cannot, however ever reach a truly infinitely small point
- Therefore, the 'event horizon' will never reveal the singularity
- Therefore, black holes get smaller but will never truly disappear
It's like a Xenos paradox: it will draw closer and closer to the center, but cannot truly ever reach it.
Can anyone tell me where I've made the mistakes that I am sure are there?
